Full of Beans & Clare Mount Summer Camp 2022
An amazing Summer School 2022 !
Fun, confidence, friendships, skills & fitness !
With previous collaborations over the years, we have developed a great relationship with the children, families and staff at Clare Mount Specialist Sports College in Moreton.
This summer we were pleased that Mr Byrne asked us to partner with them again to run their Summer School from 25th July to 3rd August 2022 where an outstanding 60 youngsters took part! Our aim was for this to be a great transition camp as the majority of children were from Year 6 in local primaries who were due to start at Clare Mount in September. Children from Orretts Meadow, Hayfield, Park Primary, Black Horse Hill Junior School, Gilbrook School, Ladymount Primary and Great Meols Primary.
The programme was funded by the National Holiday Activities with Food (HAF) scheme.
The children took part in many activities such as dance, fitness, tri-golf, kin-ball, fencing, arts and crafts, tennis, dodgeball, gymnastics, basketball, boccia, New-Age Kurling, football, trampoline, Zumba, sitting volleyball and yoga.
Activities were led by our amazing Full of Beans coaching team Sally, Danny, Elliot, Holly, Danielle, Abbie, Karl, Patricia and Chloe with additional activities from Clare Mount's staff Mrs Murphy, Mrs Booth and Mrs Corcoran. We also had a fencing session from Pete from Little Musketeers. We had the DREAMTEAM because they are not only the best qualified and experienced coaches but their mission was to ensure each and every youngster had the best time each day and every one of them went over and above every day.
To support the transition element we were lucky to have some of the Clare Mount team with a pastoral role ; Miss Smith, Miss Durkin, Mrs Kambanis, Mis Blessing, Mr Whyte, Mr Brooks and Mr Holsgrove who ensured the children had the best time. Many thanks also to Ms Rowland for helping out with the whole of week 1 and Mr Byrne week 2.
Our very own Lindsey Hopkins from Full of Beans Fitness did an outstanding job in co-ordinating and managing the project and certainly was the glue that held it all together. It was a huge task from managing the bookings, answering many queries, managing activities, organising staff and ensuring it all ran smoothly and everyone on site was settled and happy and she delivered it superbly!
Danny created an amazing show to finish the camp off with which had every child bringing loads of energy on stage, bringing a tear to the eyes of many of us and is a perfect reminder of why we LOVE what we do and makes it all worth while.
Thanks again to everyone who supported us in organising and delivering this project, hope you loved it as much as we did.
